Beautifully Updated Historic Brick Bungalow in Albany Park - Available the first week of September!

Welcome home to this beautifully updated 1921 brick... bungalow, where timeless Chicago architecture meets thoughtful modern updates. Nestled on one of Albany Park's quietest one-block, one-way streets, this exceptional home showcases gorgeous original stained-glass windows, rich woodwork, custom built-ins, and historic character rarely found in today's rentals-all while offering approximately 3,100 square feet of beautifully maintained living space.

The inviting main level is filled with natural light and features beautifully preserved hardwood floors, a classic brick fireplace, elegant architectural details, and spacious living and dining areas designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen blends character and functionality with custom cabinetry, imported handmade Mexican tile, stainless steel appliances, a brand-new refrigerator, and a generous walk-in pantry.

Offering five spacious bedrooms plus an expansive finished lower level, this home provides incredible flexibility for families, guests, home offices, or recreation. The lower level features a massive family room/playroom, additional sleeping space, laundry area, and abundant storage.

Major mechanical improvements provide year-round comfort and efficiency, including dual-zoned heating and cooling with central air conditioning (no window units), a high-efficiency furnace, tankless water heater, updated plumbing and electrical, and enhanced insulation.

Step outside to a newly landscaped, fully fenced backyard complete with a spacious patio that's perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying time outdoors. A private two-car garage offers additional convenience and storage.

Located just steps from River Park and the North Branch River Trail, you'll enjoy miles of walking and biking trails while remaining close to neighborhood favorites like Noon O Kabab, HarvestTime Foods, local coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and everyday conveniences. Commuting is easy with the Brown Line less than half a mile away and quick access to I-90/94.

Families will appreciate the home's proximity to North Park Elementary School, as well as two of Chicago's premier selective enrollment schools-Edison Regional Gifted Center and Northside College Prep.

This is far more than a typical rental-it's a meticulously maintained home offering the perfect blend of historic charm, modern comfort, exceptional space, and one of Albany Park's most desirable locations.
